Based on the results of this study is "being white" independent of "being deaf"?

Question 5 of 5 Dogs are inbred for such desirable characteristics as color; but an unfortunate by-product of such inbreeding can be the emergence of characteristics such as deafness. A 1992 study of bull terriers (by Strain and others, as reported in The Veterinary Journal) found the following: (i) 50% of the studied bull terriers are white. (ii) 11% of the studied bull terriers are deaf. (iii) 20% of the white bull terriers are deaf. Based on the results of this study is "being white" independent of "being deaf"? O A. No, since .50 is not equal to .20. O B. No, since .50 * .11 is not equal to .20. C. No, since .11 is not equal to .20. O D. Yes, since .50 * .11 is not equal to .20. O E. Yes, since . 11 is not equal to .20
